Free Admission Days in the Parks

Generally, to enter a Washington County Park by vehicle, you must display a daily or annual vehicle permit. Exceptions are the Hardwood Creek Trail and the Historic Courthouse, where no vehicle permit is required. 

Additionally, there are specific days when no vehicle permit is needed in any park: 

  • The first non-holiday Tuesday of each month.
  • The second Saturday in June (National Get Outdoors Day).
  • Earth Day.
  • The Friday after Thanksgiving.
